Upon starting the game, a snazzy introductory sequence plays where
animated baseball players with big eyes and no
mouths go to bat, pitch, and play the game for an
enthusiastic throng. Towards the middle of the
introduction, fireworks start blowing up to add to
the theatrics. Fireworks are cool. The 2010 edition
of Jikkyou Powerful Pro for the PSP features all 12
Japanese professional teams and their respective
stadiums in which they'll play. The usual game modes
return including "Pennant Mode" where players reach
for the post-season and "My Life" which places
gamers in the shoes of a rookie who's just starting
his career in the world of professional baseball.
The PoTaCa Card System also makes its return where
in-game trading cards are used to unlock special Pro
Yakyu 2010 features. PoTaCa cards are also used to
imbue baseball players with improved skills and
abilities across the various game modes. The
"Success Mode" of the game allows players to choose
a pro team and enjoy a season-long baseball scenario
that's unique for each squad.
